Old as Dirt

Greetings gentle readers. I have determined that aging is not for the faint heart-ed. I was having a conversation with my sister recently and was reminiscing about some of the things we used to play as children. We did not have much of a childhood, if you have read my book, ...the unclean spirit entered... but we did enjoy some childrens games. Running around with a towel tied around our necks ala Batman and Robin, riding motorcycles, our bicycles, and my sister being Chuck Connors in Branded (it's a long story). It seems that it was just yesterday. Instead my sister is a great-grandmother and I am an ugly old man. I was always the youngest man in my position until one day prior to my retirement, I realized that I was the oldest employee on my team. WTF! Now each day I wake up and try to guess what will hurt today and when I try to do any physical activity it is like doing it in slow motion. Moral to the story, enjoy life as it happens as it will be over in an instant.
